If we're gonna go there, I would have to mention...

Parodius!

That would give HR Giger nightmares.

Holy shit the real name of Bad Dudes is Bad Dudes vs. DragonNinja!

I was looking at the Data East wiki, they lasted till 2003, wow. They made Heavy Barrel, would totaly be another Gears cover shooter.

I'm surprised they were around that long.  If there is ever a Bad Dudes kickstarter, I'm donating.

Wrong.

Karate Champ arcade = 1984

Karate Atari 2600 = 1982

Was there a mini-game that broke up battles? Like jumping over bulls or beating up a car? No? Yeah I didn't think so. Take that shit home.

Really. The only way the Parodius series could get any more suggestive is if it were called the "Tits, Cocks, Ass and Balls Shooter Game"

Refresh my memory Leo. What is this? I remember that fat guy dove across the screen, but I don't remember much more than that about the game.

Yie Ar Kung Fu!

Ahhhh yes. That's why I never remember the name of the game. It doesn't use real words. Just some funny sounding Asian ones.

Froggo Karate is all about the pure sport of karate fighting. It does not need such pathetic attempts to make it appear interesting.

I'm sorry, but after looking at the gif you posted, I'm not convinced that's a fighting game. You'd have better luck convincing me that's some sort of erotic hybrid motorcycle/ping-pong game.

Now lets all get depressed at the fact that NONE of these will ever make a comeback.

Oh I bet at least one of them will get some kind of shot at being resurrected. We just saw Strider make a (half-assed digital) comeback, and I think most people had given up on seeing a new version of that years ago.
